The Story Behind

Worthy and Wonderful

Worthy and Wonderful began with a simple belief that every girl should feel seen, valued, and confident in who she is. Brenda Williams created this series to help young readers grow with pride in their identity, courage in their voice, and joy in their sense of self.

The first book in the series, Worthy and Wonderful A Celebration of Girls Who Matter, introduces four bright young girls who lift each other up through kindness and love. Their stories encourage children to speak positive words over their lives, build emotional strength, and understand that they are enough exactly as they are.

Brenda’s vision is to create stories that brighten childhood and inspire generations of strong, confident girls who know who they are and what they can become.
